 If you are running on a server instance where users other than the webserver user will need

+read / write access to files in the assets folder, then you should do one of the below:
 
-By default private files and `.htaccess` are written with permission `0644`.
+ - Ensure that all server users that modify this file belong to the same group

+### Modifying write permissions of files
+
+By default all files and `.htaccess` are written with permission `0664`.
 You could enable other users to access these files with the below config.
 Note: Please adjust the values below to those appropriate for your server configuration.
 You may require `0666` for combined files generated during requests where they are cleared or refreshed only during a flush.
